Dear Traders,
Today, Chinese-based stocks were gapping up, and I had one of my best trading days in 2022 on XPEV, as the Chinese electric vehicle maker soared. The recap is full of educational material, with a focus on trading based on Nasdaq Level 2 signals. I hope you enjoy it, even though the quality is a bit low as I am traveling and using my traveling laptop. Here’s a link to today’s recap.
More rate hikes are on the way this year, with the US central bank expected to make a 0.5% increase in December. Previously, many prominent individuals were opposed to aggressive rate hikes, including Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, one of the more left wing politicians in Congress. Now, Elon Musk has joined the fray, and started using Twitter to demand lower interest rates and to criticize the Fed regarding their aggressive rate hike strategy. Later today, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will be making some remarks. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard is still repeating his call for additional rate hikes to a level that will restrict economic growth. Bullard has stated that estimates show a rate of at least 4.9% is needed. Fed officials have signaled that they plan to raise their benchmark rate by 50 basis points at their final meeting of the year on December 13 and 14, after four successive 75 basis-point hikes have lifted it to a 3.75% to 4% target range.
